A Good Place Helps
Well-rounded mental health therapy:
As a licensed RTC (Registered Therapeutic Counsellor), my practice focuses on supporting you through pain and helping you find joy.
By phone or by Zoom, I provide you with person-centred, somatic, trauma-informed, talk-therapy appointments.
That’s kind of a word salad, I know. But I promise, your therapy sessions won’t sound like a textbook or a self-help influencer post.
I speak with you like a real person, having genuine, natural conversations with you.
With me, your professional counselling is safe and accepting, working together to bring you to a good place.

My counselling methods:
Talk Therapy
Talk therapy is how we explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I use a variety of therapeutic methods, like Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), to help you understand and change the patterns affecting your life.
Person-Centred Therapy
Person-centered therapy is based in the belief that you are the expert of your own life. Because of course you are. When we talk, you get open-minded and understanding support while we explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Safely, freely, and honestly. Through active listening, non-judgmental conversation, and considerate feedback, I help you build self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-confidence.
Trauma-Informed Counselling
Trauma-informed care is about how past suffering (from childhood, relationships, events, family, work experiences, or watching ‘The Land Before Time’ or ‘The Neverending Story’ as a kid) influences your mental health and creative process. My trauma-informed approach is done with empathy and careful respect for your personal boundaries. You’ll feel safe, empowered, and supported.
Somatic Therapy
We also feel the effects of stress and trauma in our bodies. Tension in muscles, stomach-aches, and headaches. Somatic therapy works by teaching you simple ways of connecting your body and mind, to gently release stored emotions, and manage your responses to triggers and stress. This helps you feel more grounded and in-tune with your body. Which is wonderful for improving emotional regulation and creative flow.
Life Coaching
Life coaching involves working with you to set goals, overcome obstacles, and develop a plan for actions you want to take. Benefits of life coaching are better clarity about your objectives, improved self-confidence, and real-life motivation that actually works. Through focused support and guidance, life coaching methods help you open up your full potential and lead a more fulfilling life.
